Petlyakov Pe-8 Bomber
The Soviet Pe-8, originally named the TB-7, is a monster for the USSR. The Pe-8 is the only Soviet 4 engine bomber produced during World War II, and stood firm all the way into the mid 1950’s. Capable of decimating German airfields, train yards, and railways, this aircraft brought tears to the eyes of young Soviet soldiers on the battlefield.
The Pe-8 is a beast, equipped with a powerful bomb, and rearward turrets make this aircraft formidable in a formation.
